Description:
1749 CICERO Marianus Rome Political Philosophy Rhetoric Balthasar Provenance
"A room without books is like a body without a soul."
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

Cicero was one of the most important Ancient Roman philosophers, known for his orations and political views, many of which shaped the development of thought in the Western world. His writings and speeches have had a lasting influence that is far greater than nearly any other individual, most notably his orations.

This mid-18th-century printing was edited and collected by Basil Balthasar, a Swiss professor of rhetoric. He worked for the Monastery of St. Gallen where he collected prayers and formed his teachings based on the classical techniques established by Cicero.

Description:
1815 SECRET Memoirs 1ed Napoleon Bonaparte Napoleonic WARS Waterloo Revolution

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
– Napoléon Bonaparte

Napoléon Bonaparte was the most prominent Military leader during the French Revolution and led many successful campaigns, dominated European, and global affairs for more than a decade. In the years following the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars, the French public was interested in the life of Napoleon and his armies.

Charles Doris, who claimed to have viewed Napoleon from a distance for many years, wrote a biographical sketch of Napoleon, in which he writes out of sympathy for Napoleon – noting his lack of friendships, his barbaric mindset, and his desire only to be victorious in battle. 'Secret Memoirs' as it is known is a rare account of Napoleon's life and military career, published following Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.
